Annual depreciation = [ cost of machine - scrap value ] / life time of machine in years
Annual depreciation = [ $ 425,000 - $ 65,000] / 9 = $ 40,000
$ 40,000 is the amount of depreciation in 2009, 2010 and 2011 using straight line method of depreciation.
Book value of machine on 1/1/ 2012 = Original cost of machine - Accumulated depreciation from 2009 to 2011
Accumulated depreciation for 2009 to 2011 = $ 40,000 X 3 = $ 120,000
Book value of machine on 1/1/2012 = $ 425,000 - ( $ 40,000 X 3)
Book value of machine on 1/1/2012 = $ 305,000
If machine was sold on 9th January 2012, then for 9 days in 2012 no depreciation to be changed further, because 9 days in a year is so nominal to calculate depreciation.
